    Has anyone on a low carb regime tried the Thursday Cottage reduced sugar preserves?

    You could try this one. Marmalade – Keto Fitness Club https://share.google/tySvwpvcM557i6Rwh Makes 50 savings ie tablespoons. There are other keto marmalade recipes out there, but most don't specify the make of sweetener, and all sweeteners are different in sweetness and how they cook. I...

    "What have you eaten" Parallel Chat

    Have a look at the ingredients for the lentil crackers. It may well be the "vegetable " or seed oils probably used. I find since I've gone low carb I'm getting less and less tolerant of certain things, seed oils especially. For example a little bit of shop bought mayo was fine, but now I can't...

    Nothing you've said. It's been quiet for several months now. But I'm finding the main threads quiet too. Such a shame. This forum was my life saver and main support tribe for over 5 years.

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    A blip can act as a good reminder. Just notice, learn and move on

    First thing I started preparing a dessert ready for lunch time, a low carb cheesecake but on a real biscuit base. However it all started seeping out the loose bottomed tin so ended up cooking the base and topping separately . Looked really messy but tasted good! B: 2 cold sausages L: gammon...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    I use a mix of ground almonds and milled seeds, and melted butter. Quantities to taste or fit the dish!

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Just a heads up that Elmlea isn't real cream. It's a processed blend of processed vegetable oils. Check the nutrition label. Yes it's longer life and cheaper than real cream but I thought you might be interested to know this. Glad you enjoyed the cheesecake

    I don't follow any particular recipe. I just freeze leftovers (or disasters) and serve semi defrosted calling it semi fredo as a bit of a joke. Sorry!

    Gastric balloon

    Not a balloon, but a friend went for the full gastric bypass. Worked well initially lost about 6 stone, but it's all piled back on now. Yes she can only eat small amounts but she eats constantly, and all carbs. Imho it's the mindset needs to change, not the physical body. It's the why we eat...

    Woke early. B: full fat greek with milled seeds and the remaining half of mango chia pudding. A long day in the garden, lots of bending and crouching. Hubby very stressed with the task we were doing. Made me stressed too. Dread to think what that did to my bg. Very late lunch, half an avocado...

    There's something called a "semi fredo" which is a frozen dessert, served slightly mushy. I call any mixture like yours a semi-fredo and my guests think I'm wonderfully skilled! I hope you find someone nice who really deserves Neil's semi fredo ;)

    Use of artificial intelligence in this forum

    In my efforts to learn more about AI I've come across this humorous with serious undertones podcast. Well worth a listen. Both by those who think they know AI and those (like me) who start from ignorance The link is to most recent episode 60, but worth listening to the first ones too just to...

    Advanced Eye Disease

    What galls me is they always do my good eye first and so I'm led into a false sense of hope. Then we go to my bad eye and its total disappointment. I get glimpses of letters but they jump and move around and come and go. It's really hard work to try to see. It never changes so why do they put...

    Advanced Eye Disease

    Hi, I've been a regular eye customer for years, way before type 2 even struck. During your appointment you will need patience. First someone will take you in to do the Chart of Doom, or as they call it, the eye chart. After that they will probably apply some drops to dilate your eyes. These...
